[edit] Life and art
Tery Marks is an internationally exhibited, award-winning painter, printmaker and tattooist. Terry was born and raised in New York City. As a young teenager she met painter Joseph Wolins, known for his work during the WPA period, who became her first art teacher and mentor. In 1980 she moved to London, England, where she lived for nine years, went to art college and worked in a lot of hellish pubs pulling pints for football hooligans. She returned to New York City to complete her MFA in painting at New York Academy of Art, later becoming webmaster for artgalny.com, and founder of New York Stuckism (local chapter of the international ReModernist art group.) In addition to exhibiting with the Stuckists in England, she has also shown her work with the Melbourne Stuckists, Australia. Other notable shows include her solo exhibition "This not an installation" (2004) at Koi Gallery, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York, USA and participation in the 1st Stuckist International (2002), Stuckist Centre, Hoxton, London, United Kingdom. Terry has been exhibiting her work since 1987 and has taken part in many solo and group exhibitions in Manchester, Glasgow and London in the United Kingdom and New York, USA.
She has lapsed memberships with many arts organizations. Her work is in numerous private collections in the USA & UK.
